La France Insoumise

La France Insoumise is a democratic socialist political party in France that was founded in 2016. The party was founded by Jean-Luc Melenchon, who was inspired by the rise of the Spanish Podemos political party and the presidential candidacy of American socialist politician Bernie Sanders. The party supported the creation of a sixth republic, the repeal of anti-labor union laws, ensuring that France was using only renewable energy by 2050, the right to dismiss elected representatives with recall votes, the protection of common goods, the separation of investment and retail banks, raising the minimum wage, leaving NATO, pursuing a policy of non-interventionism, and withdrawing from unfair free trade agreements. In 2017, the party won 17/577 National Assembly seats.
